MA/MS in Biotechnology

The Professional Science Master's in Biotechnology at the University of Utah centers on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular science. It adds professionally oriented training such as project management to prepare graduates for leadership in the state's biotechnology sector. The curriculum has three parts: professional skills courses shared with other tracks in the Professional Science Master's offering, biotechnology courses with core requirements and focus-area electives, and a professional experience project. Graduate students enrolled in nine or more credits count as full time, and those students can finish in two years, while part-time students typically need two and a half to four years. Prospective students should consult the department's own pages for current application steps, faculty contacts, and funding details before applying. Contact information for advisors is listed there as well.
